Wishlist Membership Plugin Review

Wishlist Member is often the WordPress membership site plugin that comes to mind when being advised of the best plugin to use when setting up your membership site in WordPress. This is for very good reason. Wishlist has built itself a very good reputation for providing a robust and versatile membership software that can be used to build a multitude of membership models.

You may feel a little bit overwhelmed about the choice of membership sites you can build as well as with the wide variety of options available with WishList Member. However, you can easily get started just by using the basic features. Get used to using the software and discovering what it can do, then as you get more confident with it, add more features to your membership site and your members will love you for it!

One of the reasons building a membership site, or sites, is so popular is to create more regular income streams for your business. Wishlist Member allows you to integrate a variety of popular shopping carts to take the payment for you, or you can use the integrated payment options which includes PayPal.

Whether you want to provide a continuous membership site or a fixed continuity program, then Wishlist has it covered. A fixed continuity program is usually between 3 to 6 months long. The advantage of a fixed continuity program is that you create the content once and you don’t have to update or create continuous content after this period is over, although I’m sure your members would be extremely grateful if you did. With a continuous model, you have to keep adding regular, fresh content. This however, can easily be outsourced once your membership site is making money. WishList Member gives you the opportunity to drip feed content at regular intervals, giving the impression that fresh content is being regularly added.

Another great feature of WishList Member is that you can to offer pay per view content. This option can be great if you provide coaching, training or “how to” videos. Also, another similar tactic is to offer teaser content, in that your visitor will only be able to see so much of the content and to read more they must become a member. You can set their access up to give them a daily pass or any other type of membership in order to see the full content. Leaving your visitors with a potential cliff hanger where they can only find out more by becoming a member is a great marketing technique. Just make sure that you deliver quality information that will justify their decision to become a member.

As you can see WishList Member is a great membership plugin that can help you get your membership site up in a day or two, depending on whether or not you have the content already created. It’s a great way to get extra mileage out of your existing content. They have nearly 23,000 customers already, so they must be doing something right so why not join them?
